  1. And then, one flew over the cuckoos nest...
  2. Fair enough, but can you see why it also fits in politics, given your OP and subsequent answers?
  3. I think pack hunters of some sort would be a leading contender, to develope motivated reasoning of some sort. No (have I missed the joke, again?).
  4. Squirrels often fake burying their nuts, just in case their being spied on, if they turned that tool on themselves, they'd never bury a nut. It's the same for humans, we only use deceit on other's, self deceit is why we have therapists.
  5. Not at all, but is it unreasonable for me to question the premise 'of the start point'?
  6. I'm unsure what the difference is, in this thread/topic But as a matter of interest, is the null hypothesis, not just contentment? Unless we're getting into a Hari Seldon situation.
  7. Survival, motivated by fear of being eaten. This is a different question (political), the motivation is still fear though. Reasoning is a byproduct of intelligence, our ability to apply it effectively, as with all life, lies on a spectrum...
  8. Indeed, also @Otto Kretschmer what is motivated doing in the title?
  9. If you know everthing, how do you know your teacher wasn't lying? I thought you wanted to talk in riddles, was that one to difficult? Does that mean I'm smarter than you?
  10. If you know everthing, how do you know your teacher wasn't lying?
  11. You can't be an atheist and believe that Hitler was born evil... Almost worth a topic of it's own.
  12. I understand that I can be annoying and have annoyed a lot of the great member's on this site; how annoying is the child that simply asks, why do you think that is true? But isn't satisfied with bc I said so. Just to reiterate my point and get back on topic, I'm a human and so my freedom is limitated to that of a human (a bee would give a different answer), therefore anything that a human is capable of, from Hitler to Jesus, is generally dictated by my circumstances/context.
  13. Nor is that... I'm trying to discuss a topic, why are you angry with that approach? If you're correct and I'm wrong, then show me how; but don't mock me bc I'm disabled and you might face a cancellation... ;) I've only mocked your arguments, I don't know you...
